We don't support RHEL6 nouveau 3D drivers, so we don't enable them, rebuilding the RHEL6 mesa package with the nouveau drivers enabled should give you a working 3D as of what Mesa was shipped in RHEL6.2. When RHEL6.4 is released it would probably be more worth doing, as its planned to have a newer Mesa.
